- Prince Regent was launched at Shields in 1811. During her relatively long career she made four voyages transporting convicts to Australia, three voyages to New South Wales and one to Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania). After the first, rather than immediately returning to England, she engaged in whaling. Prince Regent spent many years as a transport, carrying troops for the British government. She was last listed in 1855. (en)

- The Prince Regent is one of the best transports employed in the service, and yet she is a vessel wretchedly rigged, manned, and accommodated to her trade of carrying troops. Out of her whole crew, there were only two able-bodied seamen; the remained having been, as usual with transports, picked up at under wages. She had been up the Mediterranean with troops, and was on her passage home uncleansed, when she took up five hundred and twenty of the Legion. Some of our non-commissioned officers went on board, to distribute men to the berths as they arrived, and the filth and stench then was intolerable. Fleas and lice, bugs, and other vermin, nestled in every seam and splinter; not because the Legion was on board, but ready to devour the men of the Legion when they came on board! yet this was a British troop ship.
